2. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
3. Massage the Kale:
- In a large salad bowl, place the chopped kale leaves. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt over them.
- Massage the kale leaves with your hands for a few minutes until they become tender and slightly wilted.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- Add the cooled roasted sweet potatoes, crumbled Roquefort cheese, and chopped pecans or walnuts to the bowl with the massaged kale.
5. Drizzle with Dressing:
- Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients.
6. Toss and Serve:

Pro Tips- Ensure the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting for the best flavor.
- Massaging the kale leaves with a bit of olive oil and salt makes them more tender and palatable.
- Customize your salad with additional toppings like dried cranberries or toasted pumpkin seeds for extra texture and flavor.
- Drizzle extra dressing or sprinkle extra Roquefort cheese just before serving if desired.
